I was at the visiting teaching conference the other day and one of the sisters mentioned that she was grateful for the opportunity to serve in her position even though she felt inadequate and not equal to the task. I realized that I hear that statement a lot and have said it....a lot.
At that second I realized the reason for that. I think when we do not feel equal to the task then we are still humble enough to be taught and to feel the spirit. When we feel we are equal to the task then I think maybe pride has taken over and we are no longer teachable. Maybe that is why we are released just when we feel we are starting to get a handle on things.
Just a thought.
